It always amuses me to see how science has taken hold in every part of life. Maybe not science per se, but the idea of action/reaction, of doing something to gain something. You know, not for the pleasure of it, not because we feel good or it's the right thing to do, but because "it says so in the paper", "it boosts productivity" or "lowers the risk of diabetes by 5%, studies have shown". That's just fascinating.
- jmnicolas 11y agoBefore we had religion, now we have "science". I think humans are superstitious creatures that need something to believe in. By the way, I nap every day for 20-30 min since I read a few years ago that it was good for me ;-)
